Creepy Nando's - now sliding into your DMs

Some people go to Nando's to eat, plain and simple. Other people - who are clearly the kind of people who need to be rounded up and flogged - go for a 'cheeky' Nando's. Well, the latter type of customer seems to be rubbing off on the staff, who decided to get all lusty after a customer on Twitter.

The poultry vendors offered to come to a young lady's house "to make things 'hot'". Elle originally tweeted: "I thought I could handle Nandos hot chicken. But boyyyy the way my mouth was burning." She didn't @ the company itself, but searching for their own name (which is what psychopaths do), they replied with: "can't handle the heat Elle?" and added a winking emoticon.

She replied: "I can handle it, I just chose not to actually," which then saw Nando's trying to slide into her DMs, all smooth like, offering to go 'round to her house.

Of course, Nando's said that they were only trying to offer her some hot sauce.

"We like to have fun with our customers on Twitter and reward our loyal fans," a spokesperson said. "We wanted to send Elle a bottle of hot sauce in response to her tweet, which is where the reference to ‘handling the heat’ comes from."

"We would never intentionally offend someone and when we realised we may have done so, deleted the tweet. This is not something we would usually do."
